Please help!  I thought I wanted a Droid X but now I have the option to get an iPhone.  Can't find anywhere to do a side by side comparison.  Any input would be appreciated.

Try the SEARCH button up above... or try Google Search - there are a ton of comparisons posted.  There has been a lot of chatter here on this forum about the 2 phones. Honestly though, you really should go to a Verizon store and compare them for yourself though. If the larger screen on the DROID X is important, that may be the tipping point for you.

 

 

Personally I LOVE my DROID X ...  I'd take it any day over an iPhone.

YouTube has several videos comparing the Droid X to the IPhone. However, you must remember, the IPhone that Verizon is selling and the IPhone that AT&T are selling are not quite the same phone. The two companies run their cell phones on different systems. These means, for one example, that with Verizon, you can not surf the net and talk at the same time, whereas with the AT&T system, you could. But if you still want to compare apples to droids, just go to YouTube and in the search bar type in Droid X vs IPhone. By the way, I should mention that there are several videos on the Droid X with some good tips.

Be careful about many of the online reviews comparing the two phones as many of those where done when the DX launched and they are reviewing the Eclair version of Android that was originally on the phone.  Now that DX has the Froyo version of Android, which made many improvements to the phone.

 

My two cents - I love my Droid X and there has been nothing about the iPhone that entices me to move away from it.  Just my preference, and you'll find plenty of people out there who are completely in love with the iPhone and will say that Android has nothing to offer.

Can you hold out until after the iPhone comes out?  Let others use it and then look for reviews.  Maybe after a few weeks or months, there will be more specific info regarding the Verizion version of the iPhone and you can do more accurate comparisons.

I have a number of co-workers that bought iphones of Craigslist because they are selling them so cheap these days and they keep telling me they wish they would have went with a Droid device because they enjoy using my device, now they are searching for a new Android device...   There isn't any one device for everyone but I am glad I switched to Android and the Droid X was my first device.

 

I agree with the suggestion to try both devices for yourself and see what is more to your liking and then make your decision because everyone has different likes and dislikes, also a number of the video are somewhat bios to one device or the other before they even decided on the video...  Try it for yourself will be safer because you are the one going to use it.

This is my two cents. My boss has an IPhone, I have the Droid X. The IPhone is smaller, making for a smaller screen. The IPhone has a plastic body, which looks real cheap to me. The IPhone is not as easy to personalize as the Droid X. The Droid X has a sturdier feel to it, a bigger screen, and is real easy to personalize. One more thing, the camera on the Droid X is better. Finally, my boss wishes he had my phone.

My boss has an iPhone, and thinks I should have gotten one!  I still try to find ways to outdo his phone!  🙂     One thing I have noticed is that when I ask people if they like their Android phone (Droid X, Droid 2, etc.) I consistently get the same response:  "I love it!".  When I ask iPhone owners the same question, the response is always fairly lukewarm:  "Yeah..."

Has anyone seen the new commerical from Verizon showing off the i*hone?  The one with the Verizon guy at the end saying "Yes, I can hear you now" or soemthing like that.  I don't even want an Apple OS of any kind and I just laughed when I saw it!  More because I actually believe users will have much better call experience with Verizon network then that "other" network.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
